DEALERS INTERESTED IN ALASKAN SEAFOOD BCF marketing personnel report that sea- food dealers in Central and Southwestern States have expressed interest in handling fresh and frozen Alaskan seafood products. Airlines flying between the Western States and Alaska are anxious to fill space. They are willing to discuss special freight rates to instal cold-storage facilities for emergency and temporary holdings. Also, they would facilitate transfer of Alaskan seafoods to eastbound Alaskan fishery-product containers assembled on the beach near watere from which products came, (Photo: J. M.

INTERIOR HONORS BCF SCIENTISTS Dr. Reuben Lasker, BCF Fishery-Ocean- ography Center, La Jolla, Calif., has been awarded Interior Department's Meritorious Service Award by Secretary Walter J. Hickel. The award recognizes his outstanding con- tributions in the physiology of marine orga- nisms, both fish and invertebrates. Secretary Hickel cited Dr. Lasker's ac- complishments in the study of the energy ex- change between fishes and their food supply. Dr. Lasker has studied 3 main organisms of the California Current food web, a euphausiid shrimp (a common food organism of pelagic fishes), the Pacific sardine, and the northern anchovy. He discovered that the efficiency of energy transfer of phytoplankton and small zooplanktonto euphausiids is about 10% over the animal's life span. Similar studies on ad
